Using Drones to Make a Flying X-Wing from Star Wars

We all want to be Luke Skywalker on the trench run in an X-wing starfighter. With each passing day, we're getting closer to making that dream a reality. Rodger Cleye made this 5-foot long model as a part of that ongoing effort.

It's made of PVC pipe which is why it looks hollow. That was necessary because anything more would have been too heavy for the 3 drone motors that make it airworthy. Check it out in action:

When you log into Halo 3 online play it shows a similar map (but for Halo online players, obviously)

We always point out how odd it is that the density in America drops right in the middle...in almost a perfect line. It looks more apparent on Halo, but you can see it here, as well.
